DG
Sometimes I feel like Fletcher Christian
DA
Staring out across the sea
DG
Torn apart by duty's shackles
DAD
The twisted tongues of loyalty
G
Well I sucked hard on every pleasure
DA
Till my head began to spin
DG
He'll choose between the whip and feather
DAD
And that is where his crimes begin
GD
Sometimes I feel like Fletcher Christian
AD
In paradise with the tables turned
G
Yes, and I can feel the tattooist's needle
DAD
I feel my neck and ankles burn
G
Those South Sea isles are cold and barren
DA
But this civil war's been good to me
DG
Well, we took drugs and tore our uniforms
DAD
And gave our captain up to the sea
GD
Sometimes I feel like Fletcher Christian
AD
Twisting off the serpent's head
G
For the mutiny, I'll shoot the big one
DAD
Hot and hungry, far from home
G
Through the sun and sea, my skin is peeling
DA
But it don't make the pictures fade
DG
Those shapes and symbols, I know their meaning
DAD
The shameless riches from another world
G
If I return, they're sure to hang me
DA
So I guess, I'll have to stay
DG
And if I should croak out in the darkness
DAD
No one will know I've gone away.
